A Comparison of Ceftriaxone and Cefuroxime for the Treatment of Bacterial Menmingitis in Children
NEJM 322:141-147, Schaad,U.B.,et al, 1990
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We conclude that ceftriaxone is superior to cefuroxime for the treatment of acute bacterial meningitis in children and that the benefits of milder hearing impairment and more rapid sterilization of the cerebrospinal fluid with ceftriaxone outweigh the problem of reversible biliary pseudolithiasis with this drug.
